In this episode, Joseph helps listeners understand:

How basic sense impressions can be mistaken
The four great hallucinations of perceptions as outlined by the Buddha

The root of suffering
Taking what is not self to be self
Having mastery over our perceptions
Ways of perceiving that lead to liberation
How moods deceive the mind

This talk was originally published on Dharmaseed

“A good feedback for us for when we’re lost in this hallucination of perception, taking what’s impermanent to be permanent, is whenever we notice clinging or attachment. When there’s clinging or attachment what that means is that in those moments we are not seeing clearly and we are not experiencing deeply the truth of change, the truth of impermanence. We are diluted into thinking that a particular experience in some way is worth holding onto.“– Joseph Goldstein
